[Bradford] Stopping services starting each time I boot up

[Alice Kaerast]

And I thought Ubuntu was supposed to be user friendly!  On Redhat-based
systems there's a nice chkconfig tool - "chkconfig mongodb off". I believe
this can be made to work in Debian too, not sure about Ubuntu.

Or just suspend the machine rather than shutdown.

Regards
Alice
